lpv:translated text	"The events that took place this spring in Bahrain should not become a forgotten revolution. The intervention of Saudi troops may have enabled royal authority to be temporarily restored but, despite our repeated calls, a genuine dialogue with opponents to political reforms has not yet been launched. Recent developments in this country are not at all encouraging. Dozens of demonstrators arrested in February have been brought before special national security courts and have received record sentences (between seven years’ imprisonment and life). Doctors and medical staff from the Manama hospital have also received heavy sentences for the simple fact of having acted ethically by treating Shiite victims of the demonstrations on Pearl Square. Press freedom is also under threat following the prosecution and fining of a number of journalists for spreading false information during the riots. We cannot operate double standards with regard to the events in North Africa and the Middle East. I therefore believe that the time has come to be very firm with the Bahrain authorities, who should urgently launch a genuine process of democratic reforms which takes account of the aspirations of demonstrators."@en1
